The last thing that the four wheeling community is for us to give more ammo to the tree-huggers by tresspassing and tearing up other peoples land.
Yeah 10-4 on that. Well the tree huggers would be pissed about this land no matter what. The developer has clear leveled it. It was supposed to be the 3rd phase of our community but that has been put on hold. It is nothing but torn up land at the moment. Obviously once they start working on it again I will quit. If it wasn't "community" land I would have never gone on it. I wouldn't want someone tearing up my land unless I knew about it and could help.
upergrin: One of these days when I am rich I will just buy up 1000acres and everyone can come play... Of course by that time all the 4x4's will probably be electric and will sound really funny running through the trails. Anyway outside of trying to justify playing on "community" land, your point is taken. :beer:

As far as lockers, I'd actually recommend a TrueTrac LS for the rear. They don't have clutches to wear out, so they'll last a long time. I wouldn't put a locker in the TTB, but if you have the disposable income, a 2nd TrueTrac would be nice. I would recommend the D50 stub shaft modification, however. Do you have a 351 or 302? If it's a 351, I don't know if I'd even bother regearing to 4.10's for the 33's. As far as CB radios, it really doesn't matter. None of them transmit more than a couple miles. If you really communicate with people off-road, get your ham radio license...
See this is the area where I have alot to learn. I was thinking probably a 4" lift. The Lockers and all that stuff is where I lack any knowledge. I have the 302. Do many guys out there have ham radios? I have gone back and forth for years about getting my license. I know a little about street cars but I don't have the first clue about off road equipment, I just know it looks fun and the wife loves it.
